Businessman Kuzmichev lost the court on the disclosure of his addresses in France

The French regulator considered the disclosure of the addresses of the house and villa of the Russian businessman "proportionate" to the circumstances Aleksey Kuzmichev

The Supreme COURT of France rejected the claim of Russian businessman, co-founder of Letter One and Alfa Group Alexei Kuzmichev, who challenged the publication by the country's authorities of data on the location of his house in Paris and a villa on the Riviera, BLOOMBERG reported.

In March, Kuzmichev came under EU sanctions , which include an asset freeze and a travel ban. After that, the businessman's property was frozen, and the addresses of his house and villa were made public.

Kuzmichev said that the publication of this information endangered the life of his family, and demanded that the decree issued by the French authorities in April be suspended. This document provided for the publication on the Internet of real estate addresses of businessmen from RUSSIA.

A French court dismissed Kuzmichev's claim, stating that the French privacy regulator recognized such publications as "proportionate" to the circumstances. it added that the disclosure of information about real estate will avoid its lease or sale under a private agreement between companies in the form of shares.
